From Sweet To Sweeter

And pleasant afternoon graham cracker + almond butter snack : )

Foodblog-2653

Followed by a networking meeting at C-ville – regarding possible collaborative blogging!

Foodblog-2664

Dinner tonight had to be packed and wrapped up because I went straight from C-ville to Martha Jefferson for the final class in our education series: Basics in Baby Care.

Foodblog-2667

I packed a wrap of leftovers that Matt brought for me in the car. This reminds me of the days when I went straight from Food Science Lab to Chem II in the evenings during my summer of summer school madness. I ate a lot of packed dinners! [If you want to read more about how I ate, read this.]

Foodblog-2661

Tonight’s wrap had leftover forbidden rice, chicken, goat feta, spinach and a sprinkling of pineapple preserves! It was like a Hawaiian chicken wrap : )

Foodblog-2657

Baby Care class was fun! Not sure I learned all that much, but Matt changed his first diaper!

Foodblog-2676

Foodblog-2678

Foodblog-2680

The last time we left the hospital I mentioned going to Kohr Bros (which is just down the road) but we decided we weren’t in the mood.

Tonight Matt just started driving in that direction!!

Strawberry with Sprinkles for me; Chocolate-Dipped Peanut Butter for him. His was better!

Foodblog-2684

My yoga teacher likes to tell us 30+ week preggos “Mind your ice cream” because it can be an iffy habit to get into at this stage of the game. I couldn’t help but think I’ve had it two days in a row when I slurped this down. BUT – it’s once summer once a year

:mrgreen: this !

    I hated when I was told to “mind my ice cream” – but for lactose intolerance, not pregnancy! Pregnancy sounds like a much more fun reason to “mind” anything, really. Looks delicious!

    Kath, I have decided that ice cream is a treat and not a food group. So now if I want ice cream, I can only have it on Sundays AND I have to walk to get it. 30 minutes each way. I figure I have so much fruit that I throw away I might as well eat it as a dessert with some fat free yogurt instead.

    Just curious – why were you recommended to “mind” the ice cream? If anything I’d say the end of pregnancy is the time to love the ice cream! Obviously not go crazy, but it’s certainly the time to treat oneself.

    Chocolate-Dipped Peanut Butter anything will always trump most anything else!

    And I can’t believe that 1. you have blog posts back to 08 discussing chemistry and 2. that you had to take chemistry as an adult. Shudder. My last organic chem classes were in college, and I still get sweaty palms thinking about them! eek.

    If anyone had told me to mind my ice cream at 34 weeks, they would have had to mind my foot in their behind. Just sayin’. Girl, your life is about to be flip turned upside down. Eat all the sprinkles you can!

    OK, forget this piece of advise and have 3 ice-creams every day 🙂
    You are only that pregnant a VERY few times in your life (well, unless you are planning to go on television with XX kids and counting, in which case, good for you), so I say go ahead and have an ice cream, every day for the next 4-6 weeks that you are have left. Once the baby is born, for the first few months ice cream from somewhere where you have to drive to is going to be off your mind completely. Actually, any kind of daily eating habit I had during pregnancy I never kept into “babyhood”. Plus, many babies are sensitive to cow milk (mine is) so no icecream for me at all, and believe me, it does not feel in the least as a sacrifice, once you see a happy and normally pooping baby! Good luck and enjoy every minute of those little pleasures!!!!!!

    Haha, I need to remember the “mind your ice cream” (well, sweets) mantra. I’m 32 weeks and haven’t gone crazy, but yesterday I had a chocolate croissant, lemon petit four and a leftover piece of wedding cake. I definitely don’t deprive myself, but that was a little ridiculous 🙂

    I know that this is a treat and not an everyday thing for you guys, but did you know that the “magic shell” hardening chocolate dip is made with lard?!?! that’s what make’s it harden. I never knew that until I worked in an ice cream shop- I was totally grossed out and I have never touched the stuff again!

      So what or where did you decide to give it up? Was it during your education to become an RD? What moved you away from processed foods and closer to whole foods?

        It was before going back to school, but I don’t really remember a time and place. I think it was pretty gradual. The last thing for me to give it up in was hot tea. Found this old post from 2008 where I was still using it in tea: https://www.katheats.com/easy-decision-hard-decision
